I’m kind of tired of Nextcloud because it’s using so many resources on my server and I’m only using it for calendar and address book for two users. So I’m looking for alternatives, what do you use (only self hosted) and how do you like it?
I use Nextcloud for a lot of things, including caldav and carddav. So can’t help you with alternatives there.
What’s this about davs? Can i join?
I use NC for a lot of things so I use it currently, but I did use Radicale once upon a time. It’s pretty simple to set up, though it’s all done via conf files.
It hasn’t gotten many commits in the last year or so, idk what the maintenance status is these days. It worked well enough though when that’s all I wanted out of a DAV server.
I see someone put up a dockerfile for it: github.com/xlrl/docker-radicale

Radicale, and I only sync when at home on the LAN. Super simple to setup and requires minimal maintenance and little resources.
Thunderbird on the workstations syncs directly to Radicale, and is an overall good experience.
I use DAVx⁵ to sync on Android/GrapheneOS, bit not overly thrilled with the calendaring options there…Etar works “okay”.

I use this Docker image for Radicale: hub.docker.com/r/tomsquest/docker-radicale
You can try using Caldav-sync as an alternative for syncing on Android. It’s more reliable than Davx5 for me with very large calendars.
There was also a Carddav-sync from the same developer but that app doesn’t show up on the store for me anymore for some reason.
Alternatively you can use the Calengoo app, it can sync directly to a Caldav server bypassing the Android system.

Thanks for the info. Davx5 has worked well for me, but it’s still nice to have alternatives.
My challenge has been finding a decent open source calendar app for Android, which unfortunately excludes Calengoo. I’m just not interested in using closed source network-capable apps to manage my personal information.

Add Tailscale to your devices and sync from anywhere.
Or just on a device at home, and enable Funnel, which can route external connections to specified local resources over your Tailscale net.

Or simply set up wireguard.
At least I suffered from terrible battery life with Tailscale, while 24/7 wireguard isn’t even showing on the battery stats.
